A 4-star recruit and son of long-time Steeler, Joey Porter, Jr is a long and stingy cornerback when it comes to press man coverage. Where he is very strong there, he struggles in off-coverage and lacks the fluidity to recover. Over his three-year career, he shined with the following accolades:

2020

Earned All-Big Ten third team

Named All-America second team by the AFCA, Associated Press, FWAA, Walter Camp Football Foundation, and CBS Sports

Porter Pros

Press Man

He is at his best when asked to play press man, as evidenced by his 33% and 47% reception rates in 2021 and 2022.

Tackling

He is not afraid to come off the ball and tackle someone. He must have gotten that gene from his old man.

Hands

Not from a taking the ball away perspective, but he knows how to use them while in coverage.

Porter Cons

Off Coverage

He struggles when asked to play off and react to routes. In addition, his zone coverage ratings are pretty bad, with a greater than 65% reception rate in each of his three seasons.

Quickness

Lacks the high-level quickness to respond to double moves.

Stiffness

His hips are pretty stiff, which is really what is limiting him from covering quicker receivers.

You can see the good and the bad in his game against Purdue.
